Beat the devil with a system

"Quick, quick, after cleaning the battlefield, quickly build fortifications!!!"

All the officers and soldiers of the security regiment entered Taierzhuang. Under Li Hong's order, the soldiers quickly cleaned up the battlefield, and built fortifications and firepower fortifications according to the city.

After more than half an hour, other troops also rushed to Taierzhuang after receiving orders from the theater.

The reinforcements to Taierzhuang were the 2nd Army, and the acting commander was General Sun Liancheng.

The newly formed 17th Brigade that guarded Taierzhuang before was Sun Liancheng's 2nd Army unit.

At this time, Li Hong was leading the troops to inspect the situation in various parts of the village, and urged the soldiers to build fortifications.

Suddenly, a major general in a gray military uniform rode a tall horse and ran towards Li Hong along the messy street.

The major general found Li Hong after many inquiries from the officers and soldiers of the security regiment.

The major general who came on horseback in a hurry was none other than Yang Dalu, commander of the 17th Brigade.

Yang Dalu nimbly jumped off his horse and ran to Li Hong.

The two saluted each other, and Li Hong asked Yang Dalu, "Brigade Commander Yang, what do you want from me?"

Yang Dalu said bluntly, "Consultant Li, our Commander Sun would like to invite you to the headquarters."

"Okay, let's go!"

Li Hong didn't ask any more questions, and immediately jumped onto a horse on the side of the street, and followed Yang Dalu to the headquarters of the Second Army.

Sun Liancheng had just rushed to Taierzhuang, and he had not had time to enter the village. His headquarters was established two kilometers away from the village.

Li Hong had never dealt with Sun Liancheng, but only met once or twice at the theater headquarters. However, he still knew a lot about the other party.

Sun Liancheng was originally a general of the Northwest Army. In his early years, he abandoned his pen and joined the army. He was brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, and he was known as one of the Thirteen Taibao of the Northwest Army.

Although the Second Army is a group army, it does not have many troops under its jurisdiction, and the total number of troops is only tens of thousands.

Before arriving at the headquarters of the Second Army, Li Hong saw Sun Liancheng waiting at the entrance of the headquarters with a group of officers and generals from a distance.

"Woo, woo!!!"

Li Hong reined in the reins, jumped off the horse, and strode towards Sun Liancheng.

Chapter 445 I'll be there for you ([-])

Li Hong was just a colonel, and he was able to be greeted personally by the generals of the 2nd Army, all of which depended on his own strength, as well as Li Hong's conduct.

"Hello, Chief Sun, and good morning, all the officers!" Li Hong saluted the generals in front of him.

"Consultant Li, Consultant Li!!"

The officers and generals of the 2nd Army returned a salute one after another, and they very much welcomed Li Hong's arrival.

"Consultant Li, please come in!"

Sun Liancheng took the initiative to make a gesture of invitation to Li Hong.

Soon, everyone entered the headquarters.

Judging from the attitude of these officers towards Li Hong just now, it was obviously full of admiration, and there was also a trace of gratitude.

"Consultant Li, you can sit wherever you want, there is no need to be formal."

Sun Liancheng politely invited Li Hong to sit at the conference table, and said something grateful.

"Consultant Li, thank you for your security team's timely reinforcement of Taierzhuang. Otherwise, the newly formed 17th Brigade might be completely wiped out, and Taierzhuang would also fall into the hands of the Japanese army."

The officers and soldiers of the 17th Brigade survived, thanks to the security regiment. Even if the security regiment came 10 minutes late, the unit number of the 2th Brigade of the Second Army would be wiped out.

"Mr. Sun, you don't have to be polite. It's our security team's duty to help Taierzhuang. Now that the devils are overwhelming us, I, Li Hong, naturally take the overall situation of Taierzhuang as the top priority, and reinforcements are urgently needed!" Li Hong said solemnly.

"Okay, Counselor Li is good. It's a great fortune for us to fight side by side with a titan like Counselor Li!"

Sun Liancheng and the officers and generals admired him.

Li Hong probably guessed that Sun Liancheng's purpose for coming to him was to invite him to discuss how to defend Taierzhuang.

With the enemy at the head, Li Hong didn't have any extra nonsense, he said directly to Sun Liancheng: "Mr. Sun, there are three elite divisions of the Japanese army outside Taierzhuang. If you have any tasks, just entrust our security team, and we will fight against the Japanese invaders together! "

Li Hong spoke very frankly and was relatively humble. He did this only to cooperate with Sun Liancheng's troops in fighting the battle well.

"Okay, Consultant Li is right, we share the same hatred against the Japanese army!"

The generals of the 2nd Army all showed a firm determination to resist Japan.

The battle of Taierzhuang is very important. If it is related to the battle situation of the 5th theater, it will affect the battle situation of the whole country.

If the Battle of Taierzhuang is won, it will definitely boost the morale of the army and people across the country. If it is lost, Li Hong and the others will be sinners of the nation.

Li Hong, Sun Liancheng and other generals knew that the Japanese army would make a comeback, and they immediately held a military meeting to defend Taierzhuang.

During this meeting, Li Hong and the 2nd Army divided their defense zones.

Knowing the Japanese army's offensive intentions, Li Hong offered to defend the defense zone outside Nancheng. However, Sun Liancheng did not agree, and instead let the 13th Division under his command defend.

The defense area outside the city in the south of Taierzhuang is the main direction of attack by the Japanese army. It is no exaggeration that the south of the city will become a meat grinder next.

Sun Liancheng insisted on not letting the security team take the lead, of course not because he was afraid that the security team would take some credit.

In the positions outside the south of the city, anyone could have predicted that this would be a battle of attrition. Sun Liancheng did this only to preserve the strength of the security team, using good steel wisely.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Hong decided to hand over the position outside the south of the city to the 13th Division, and the officers and soldiers of the security regiment were responsible for guarding the east of the city.

Everyone reached a consensus and the meeting ended quickly.

Li Hong and other generals hurried back to redeploy their troops and set up defensive positions inside and outside Taierzhuang.

There were originally field fortifications dug by the 17th brigade inside and outside Taierzhuang. The soldiers of the security regiment only needed to reinforce the fortifications, which could save a lot of time.

According to Li Hong's order, the security regiment dug a lot of trenches, as well as anti-aircraft fortifications and anti-aircraft fire positions.

The entire battle of Taierzhuang can be divided into two stages. The first stage is to defend Taierzhuang and attract more enemies to "lead the enemy into the urn". The second stage is to encircle the Japanese army from the outside with large forces and wipe out the enemy's vital forces.

Of course, this is only one aspect of the battle plan of the 5th theater.

The enemy's combat thinking is the most unpredictable. Once the battlefield situation changes, the devil commander may change his offensive tactics at any time.

It is still unknown whether the large Japanese army will get into the trap in the end!
